In 90% of international programs, English is sufficient. If the organizers require local language skills, we list this clearly in the requirements section.

Do grants in USA cover visa and travel costs?

This varies. Fully funded opportunities and residencies often cover travel expenses or provide travel grants, while others only fund local accommodation.
